President’s Report
It’s spring! What an exciting time after a long and dreary winter. We are uplifted by thoughts of warmer weather and anticipate new life. I look forward to green grass, blooming daffodils, the return of robins, new leaves on trees bare for so many months, and (my favourite) baby bunnies enjoying a snack of clover…

Message from the President
On the heels of our Annual General Meeting, I sit in front of the computer writing my first message to the CAA membership. The AGM allows us to reflect on the past year and our accomplishments. Our reflection includes our recognition that CAA is the only national organization in Canada where all the decisions are made by…
Message from the President
The Canadian Academy of Audiology continues to be the largest association dedicated to the roles and functions of audiologists in Canada. All the decision-makers and influencers in the Academy are audiologists. In my year as the CAA President and in my years on the CAA board, we have established vibrant professional networks with the provincial associations…
May is Speech and Hearing Month in Canada
It may be common knowledge among hearing health professionals in Canada that the month of May is Speech and Hearing month. However, I am quite certain that this is not top of mind for the general public. So, I challenge each of you to take time this month to reflect and ask yourself ‘What am…
Message from the President

Message from the President
As I typed my first “President’s Message,” never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the scene would look like this; me sitting at my computer wearing a surgical mask, trying not to fiddle with the nose piece as my glasses fog up, a monstrous bottle of hand sanitizer next to my keyboard,…
Message from the President
Dear CAA Members, As dedicated members of our Canadian healthcare system, Audiologists have had to suddenly expand their focus from how we service our patients yesterday and today to how we plan to provide our services in the months and years ahead. Since March until early May, only essential services (life sustaining) were permitted in-person under…
Message from the President

The academy has student representation from five universities (University of British Columbia; Western University; University of Ottawa, University of Montreal and Dalhousie University). Today, I introduce…

Message from the President
Like all beautiful cities across Canada, Halifax is known for its unique personality. That is why I, admittedly, had some trepidation about the weather forecast for our 22nd CAA conference in October. The week leading up to Halloween can easily bring wet windy weather to our shores, but I believe all attendees at our largest conference in CAA history were not disappointed. Even the brief downtown-wide power outtake did not dampen the enthusiasm. As Brent…
The Canadian Academy of Audiology: A Transformative Organization

We are clinicians, researchers, educators, business owners, and members of industry, and this composition makes us truly unique. Together, we have built an organization that has accomplished some amazing initiatives to further audiology in Canada. Therefore, I would like to acknowledge…
